Oh, I see what you mean. 'Seno' is a pretty vague word in Argentina too, usually a kind of euphemism, but people have pretty much stopped using it for 'breast'. 'Chisme' is occasionally used in the way you say, but it more often means gossip, which is why I didn't quite understand. Thanks, David.

Thanks this will do, as it confirms my translation, although I feel that people use "seno" is used instead of "chisme" sometimes!!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Sorry, it was sort of a joke. When someone can't find the word for something they might say "thingamjig" in English or "chisme" in Spanish

agree  Christine Walsh: Thanks, Liz. I added this to the glossary, but it was rather clumsily done. I imagine it can be edited; I was in a rush.
